Best RV Parks & Resorts near Braddock Heights, MD

Evergreen Point Village in Frederick provides basic RV accommodations with full hookups, water, electric, and sewer on gravel sites. Cherry Hill Park offers more extensive amenities with 50-amp service, full hookups on level pull-through sites with paver patios, and proximity to Washington DC. "Sites look to be semi-private in a lot of pictures but that isn't the case. We had a full hookup with our 15ft travel trailer. Pretty tight even with my Tacoma," noted one camper about the Gettysburg KOA. Brunswick Family Campground features both 30 and 50-amp electric service, water and sewer connections, with sites that can accommodate larger motorhomes and provides access to the Potomac River.

Several RV parks in the region maintain seasonal operations, with many closing between late October and early April. Big rig owners should contact campgrounds directly about site leveling, as one visitor reported: "Our Pull-thru FHU Patio site had a serious slope. It was impossible to level my 45' motorhome without elevating the front wheels dangerously in the air." Cell service varies significantly across campgrounds, with Verizon showing better coverage than other carriers in most locations. Dump stations are available at all full-service RV parks, though Brunswick and Harpers Ferry also offer on-site pump-out service for longer stays. Narrow access roads around Harpers Ferry may present challenges for larger motorhomes, particularly during peak visitor periods when parking and maneuvering space becomes limited.

    Ramblin' Pines

    Good location to Baltimore/Frederick Attractions

    We stay at Ramblin Pines because it is close to family and a good proximity to visiting Baltimore and Frederick. The campground is quite large with lots of seasonal sites but there are some transient spaces that can accommodate big-rigs. In addition to RV sites, there are tent sites and cabins. 

    We stayed in one of the transient sites (#FR14) across from the RV storage lot. It was a long gravel back-in with 50-amp FHU. The water hook-up is in a pit so it doesn’t freeze so look under the cover. It can be a bit difficult to reach and you have to get on the ground to hook-up. Based on the location of the spigot, we were not able to attach our water filter (we drank the tap water anyway and it was good). The electric worked fine and were able to reach the sewer with our 20’ hose. The view out of our front window was of the storage lot which was not the most scenic. However, parking in the FR row is the easiest place for big-rigs to park since some roads in the park are tight and hard to navigate with the trees and with the two-way traffic. 

    There are lots of amenities and it seems some people come here for the activities and things to do. It is a destination for many campers. They have lots of themed events, the most popular being the entire month of October celebrating like Halloween. They set up a haunted walk through the woods, have pumpkin carving, trick or treating, a costume contest, haunted hayride, and site decoration contest every weekend. If you want to camp on the weekends– book early because we found it very difficult to get a reservation during October and you have to pay in full and there are no refunds for cancellations. Other weekends have live music, bingo, hayrides, cornhole tournaments, crafts, and more. Basically, there is something every weekend. 

    Huge fishing pond, shuffleboard, horseshoes, large dog park with agility, game room, playgrounds, jump pillow, heated swimming pool, and exercise room (which was decent but didn’t have a television to occupy your time), 18-hole mini golf. A short but nice hiking trail winds through the woods and is nice for walking dogs. There is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables for big gatherings. There is free Wi-Fi but it doesn’t reach sites in the back of the campground. Wi-Fi is great if you are near the office/store. The camp store is fairly large with some food/beverage items, t-shirts, large amount of RV supplies, and misc. other items. There is a coffee maker with free coffee.

    Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA

    More "glamping" than camping, but great for families!

    This campground is huge, and very crowded. We were there in the days leading up to 4th of July, and there was not a single empty site. Our section had mostly pop-ups and mid-size travel trailers, so the sites were all grass and gravel. However, the area with pull-through sites for big rigs was just a huge RV parking lot. All roads were very narrow and winding. We did fine with the pup, but can’t imagine trying to navigate a large motorhome through there. Crowding/space issues aside, this is a really nice (albeit expensive) campground. Almost everything, from the grounds, to rec halls, to pool and laundry, was sparkling clean and beautifully maintained. Bathrooms were reasonably clean as well, although they could certainly use some TLC and updating (most MD state park bathhouses are nicer).Staff was very friendly, as well. Tons of stuff to do here, especially for families: arts & crafts, indoor movie theatre, games, civil war reenactments, wine tastings, etc. We were certainly never bored, and the kids thought they had died and gone to heaven. Our site was extremely close to our neighbor's site, but still surprisingly roomy and decently shaded. We were right next to the pancake hut (free daily pancake breakfast included during the on-season) and playground, and very close to other activities. Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is just a stone's throw away, with great hiking, sight-seeing, and cute little shops.

    Overall, this is a really nice place, but much more of a resort than a campground in my opinion. The kids loved it, but I’ll always prefer the wooded seclusion of a state or national park. However, if I was looking for a more action-packed, activities-filled “glamping” experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

    Greenbelt Park Campground — Greenbelt Park

    Close to DC, Quiet, and Pretty

    Greenbelt, MD: (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer) Overall Rating: 4.5 Price: About $12 w our senior pass. Usage during visit: 50 % during week Site Privacy: Most inner loop sites are not very good. However, our inner loop site was very private. Most inner loop sites lack privacy. Pull Through” sites are more like pull over sites. The picnic table privacy is often not very good for the pull over sites. This is because the adjacent back in site is deeper with picnic table not blocked by the trailer.
    Site Spacing: Some are close. Check the map. Site surface: black top Reservations: Yes. We were able to change our site upon arrival on Rec.gov. Campground Noise: Very quiet.
    Road Noise: None Through Traffic: Not a problem if the site is in a loop. Electricity: No Water: Available at a few spigots and at the washbasins at the bathrooms Sewer: No Dump: Yes Generators: 6AM till 10PM Bathroom: Old but clean. Showers: Old but clean. Cirtains Pull Throughs: Some “pull over spots”. I have a pic or two of good ones in the D loop.
    Cell Service (Verizon): Great. Setting: 10 mins from subway for DC access. Great way to get to DC. Located in a deciduous forest serving as a pleasant getaway for locals.
    Weather: It was cool during our stay.
    Bugs: No problems yet. Solar: Most sites are not adequate.
    Host: They are friendly and very courteous. Notes: Amazing that there is such a pretty place so close to DC. This must be a great getaway for locals . …. We did not walk the park trails , but there are some.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD

    KID FRIENDLY

    This is a huge campground geared around kids. We didn't bring any with us this time and were just staying here overnight. We are in pull through site 753, pretty level gravel site, full hookups, picnic table and fire ring. The site wasn't well cleaned, grease dumped in the gravel, dead grass, lots of stink bugs! Also had to finagle the cable line to get it to work. There are very clean showers and restrooms, large camp store, restaurant, mining for kids, Waterpark, and pool. Many cabins, pull through, back in, and tent sites.

    Bull Run Regional Park

    Great Stay at Bull Run Reg. Park

    Great Park, friendly staff, clean facilities. We stayed with our Pop Up for two nights at an electric -supported site. Portable water and dumping station located at the camp store. We stayed at site 146 on the first caul-de-sac off the first loop just another site away from the bath house (which was pretty clean). We got rained on the first night so things got a little muddy but nothing out of hand. Tons of free activities for the kiddos facilitated by the camp staff over the weekends. Face-painting, ice cream sundaes, S'Mores, hay rides and a rock wall. Park has a lot of things to do as well just outside the campground. We took a try at disc golf which was a lot of fun. Pet friendly. We'll be back!

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Awesome campground while exploring Gettysburg Battlefield!

    We couldn't have been more pleased with this campground! The usual variety of sites, back-in and pull through, 50/30/20 amp service with full hookups.  Cable has the usual channels, about 20, available for $2.00 per night.  WIFI is free and we had good service, even though we were quite far from the office.  The site was level and needed no additional blocking, a fire pit and picnic table with ample outdoor sitting room.  A wooded setting gave plenty of shade and lent to the atmosphere of having more room than we actually did.  Located about 4 miles from town it is far enough for that country feel but close enough to be convenient.  The camp store was well stocked with basic needs as was the gift shop.  Trash is picked up daily, just leave it at the entrance to your site when you leave in the morning.  Cell service wasn't the best, Verizon had about 2 bars.  I can't say enough good things about the staff, from check-in and being escorted to our site with help backing in to filling up the propane on the way out everyone was courteous and helpful.  We felt secure at all times, and noticed a staff member frequently driving through on a golf cart.  A dog playground, kiddie playground, pool, putt putt, and other activities for the family.  All in all a very positive experience and a definite thumbs up for this campground!!

    Lazy A Campground

    Down home country

    I loved this campground. It is not a large campground in number of sites but has huge open fields for lots of outdoor fun. It has tent sites and level rv sites with 30 amp and water. No sewer. And one 50 amp site. Most sites have partial shade from the tree line. Each site has a fire ring and plastic picnic table. It has a creek for swimming or wading at your own risk. It also has horseshoes, playground, large outdoor picnic area, as well as a clean bathhouse with showers. There is a dump station and trash dumpster for your convenience on the way out of the campground.

    Twin Bridge Campground

    Great Site, Great Staff

    Took our new Fifth Wheel for a shakedown trip and decided to try Twin Bridges Campground. Staff was polite, amenities are great and clean, and everyone was friendly and polite. Big spacious sites, and a honeywagon to make things easier (there weren't any full hookup sites the I saw besides the long term spaces). Would definatley stay here again.

    Gettysburg / Battlefield KOA

    Camping Gem Near the Battlefields

    We had a great stay at Gettysburg/ Battlefield KOA Holiday in Gettysburg, PA. 

    We stayed in a level pull-thru site(#14) with deluxe picnic table, swinging Adirondack glider, and fire pit. The site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service. 

    Lots of mature shade trees made the site more comfortable given the July heat. The paver patio with seating and natural landscaping with well-placed boulders made it quite comfortable. 

    Wow, what a great place to stay when visiting the town of Gettysburg and nearby battlefields. 

    From the escort to our site and friendly interactions with the staff, we immediately felt at home. The site was covered with clean gravel(which I like to keep sand and dirt outside), the camp store was well-stocked, the pool was inviting, the utilities all worked great, daily trash collection was convenient, immaculate landscaping, and a 2:00 PM check-out make this place a gem when visiting the Gettysburg area. 

    Just 15-minutes to historic sites, restaurants, and breweries. 

    Everything seemed clean and well-maintained. 

    Bottom Line: This is a great campground in a great location and we can’t wait to go back! 

    THINGS I ESPECIALLY LIKED: 

    1. Beautifully landscaped site 

    2. Well maintained and clean campground 

    3. Close to town of Gettysburg and battlefields


Guide to Braddock Heights

Camping opportunities near Braddock Heights, Maryland span a diverse region between the Potomac River and Catoctin Mountain at elevations ranging from 300 to 1,900 feet. The area receives average annual rainfall of 43.5 inches with summer temperatures typically reaching 85-90°F. Most campgrounds in the region stay open from April through October, though several remain operational year-round with limited winter amenities.

What to do

Historical exploration: Visit Gettysburg National Military Park while camping at Gettysburg Campground, located just minutes from the battlefield. "A nice site/area for base camping in the fall," notes one camper who found it ideal for accessing downtown Gettysburg attractions and battlefield access points.

Water activities: Enjoy river access at Harpers Ferry Campground, where sites are positioned directly along the Potomac River. "It's lovely to have a site right on the water. I recommend bringing a float and spending your day relaxing out on the water," suggests one visitor who appreciated the riverside setting despite train noise.

Farm interaction: Feed animals at Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm, which offers a unique agricultural camping experience. "We've enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," reports a camper who visited during COVID restrictions when many activities were limited.

What campers like

Riverfront views: Potomac River access at Brunswick Family Campground offers water recreation options. "The Shanandoah is just as beautiful. This campground is so quaint and carefree you almost forget the outside world," wrote one repeat visitor who made multiple trips within two weeks.

Convenience to attractions: Most campgrounds in the region provide easy access to historical sites. "It's literally like a mile from downtown Gettysburg, which also has a lot of different things to do," noted a camper at Drummer Boy Camping Resort who appreciated the proximity to attractions.

Family amenities: Swimming pools and recreation facilities keep children entertained. "There is a swimming pool, ball courts, fishing pond, mini golf (which was in pretty sad shape), and more. They have themed weekend events, live music, bingo, golf cart parades, and potluck," observed one visitor to Bull Run Regional Park, though they felt the $80 nightly rate was steep.

What you should know

Train noise: Several campgrounds near Braddock Heights experience railroad disruptions. "The trains that come through here almost hourly range from quick commuter MARC or Amtrak trains to long freight trains. The proximity to the tracks means that if the sound doesn't wake you up, the rumbling ground will. Every hour through the night," warns a camper at Harpers Ferry Campground.

Seasonal operations: Check operating dates when planning RV camping near Braddock Heights, Maryland. "The park is so large (over 95 acres) that if you are camping with friends make sure you get sites nearby them or else you will need to drive to their site," noted one visitor about Drummer Boy Camping Resort, which operates from April 1 to October 31.

Bathroom conditions: Facility cleanliness varies significantly between campgrounds. "The bathrooms could use some upgrading for the money that place probably takes in each season. The bathhouses could definitely use some upgrading," reported a visitor who otherwise enjoyed their stay at Drummer Boy.

Tips for camping with families

Activity scheduling: Plan for organized events at campgrounds offering family programming. "They had a yard sale, vendor sale, golf cart parade, as well as other activities going on. The campground offers free mini golf, a pool and a splash pad pool area," reported a visitor to Drummer Boy Camping Resort during Memorial Day weekend.

Animal encounters: Children particularly enjoy campgrounds with farm animals. "We came with 3 kids. They LOVED the animals and we fed them at the allotted time every morning and went to visit at other times," noted a family at Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm, though they found limited activities beyond the animal interactions.

Playground access: Check playground availability before booking with children. "Only drawback is that there's only one playground that's awkwardly located," mentioned a visitor to Bull Run Regional Park who otherwise gave the campground five stars, particularly praising the shower facilities.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling: Many RV sites in the region require leveling blocks. "My site had a slight slope, but was easily overcome using additional blocks on the low side to get the trailer level," reported an RVer at Bull Run Regional Park.

Sewer hookup placement: Check hookup locations when reserving RV sites. "The biggest complaint about our site was that the sewer hookup was inconveniently placed about six inches above the ground which meant that it would not drain properly (even with a slinky placed under it)," noted a camper at Round Top Campground.

Alternative parking options: For RV travelers seeking a basic overnight spot, consider commercial alternatives. "This is a mobile home neighborhood, apparently with some new spots available for travelers — not an RV park. The location is awesome if you just need somewhere to park for a few nights while you go do stuff all day in the Frederick area," explained a local reviewer about Evergreen Point Village.
